• Brazilian believes things are heading in right direction
• ‘I’ve suffered so much and still sometimes suffer’

The Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his fight against racism, describing it as an ongoing battle that is happy to take on, but warning that he alone “can’t fight all that Black people have been suffering”.

The Brazilian footballer has been at the forefront of fighting racism in La Liga after facing abuse at more than 10 Spanish grounds. In March he laid bare the toll exacted by years of racist insults, saying that the barrage of abuse was chipping away at his desire to play.
